A little bit of a relaxing morning here, so I decided to get some testing done with Babylon 5 - A Call To Arms on my computer. Loaded this up on my LG HDR TV and see how far I could push the interlaced DVD.. I used QTGMC for deinterlacing (See bottom for reasons). Then NVIDIA Super Resolution to upscale that and their RTX video enhancements. Images were taken in PotPlayer post with their auto LUT used for HDR on a regular display. Seems to do a decent job. OBS was used for capture.
I would still… See More
go into Davinci Resolve Studios though and do some fine tuning on some things though post Like try and cleanup/sharpen certain things.
QTGMC reasoning | Babylon 5 has always been WEIRD with their scenes. For instance their series and the first movie "In The Beginning" they on original release had a number of greenscreen/cgi scenes zoomed in with interlace artifacting... NO convert with deinterlacing INCLUDING QTGMC would touch it. The only way I could get that caught, is with real time playback with QTGMC enabled. Also dropping down to 24fps caused CGI stuttering... I guess maybe it was just outputted for 29.97 broadcast and maybe at a weird framerate... Least that's the only conclusion I could come up with. It is quite apparent on the official Blu-Ray release as well.
